Article IV – SYSTEM AND SERVICE LIMITATIONS

The Company shall have no responsibility for failure of data transmission, corruption or unauthorized access.
- You are responsible for supplying high speed Internet access at your premises where your System is installed. The Company does not provide Internet service; maintain Internet connection, wireless access or communication pathways, computer, smart phone, electric current connection or supply. In consideration of the Service Provider making its monthly payments for remote access to the System, the Company will authorize your access. The Company is not responsible for your access to the Internet or any interruption of service or down time of remote access caused by loss of Internet service, radio or cellular or any other mode of communication used by you for the Applications and the access of the System. You acknowledge that your System can be non-functional or compromised if the Internet codes or devices used for access are lost or accessed by others and the Company shall have no liability for such third party unauthorized access.

Wireless systems can be accessed by others, and it is your responsibility to secure access to the System with pass codes and lock outs.

The Company is authorized to record and maintain audio transmissions, data and communications, and shall be the exclusive owner of such property. You are responsible for all permits and permit fees, if any, and agree to file for and maintain any permits required by applicable law and indemnify or reimburse the Company for any fines relating to permits. Should the Company be required by existing or hereafter enacted law to perform any service or furnish any material not specifically covered by the terms of this agreement you agree to pay the Company for such service or material.

Article V – EXCULPATORY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS
- EXCULPATORY CLAUSE: You agree that the Company is not an insurer and no insurance coverage is offered herein. Your payments to the Company are for the use of Company’s Application and remote access to your System designed to reduce certain risks of loss, though the Company does not guarantee that no loss will occur. The Company is not assuming liability and therefore shall not be liable to you for any loss or injury sustained by you as a result of any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss or injury was caused by or contributed to by the Company’s negligent performance to any degree or failure to perform any obligation or strict products liability. You release the Company from any claims for contribution, indemnity or subrogation.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: You agree that the Application, the service it offers and the System is not designed or guaranteed to prevent any loss or injury. If, notwithstanding the terms of this agreement, there should arise any liability on the part of the Company as a result of any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss, damage, or personal injury was caused by or contributed to by the Company’s negligence to any degree or failure to perform any obligation or strict products liability, such liability will be limited to an amount equal to six (6) times the monthly payment paid by you to the Company at the time such liability is fixed, or to the sum of $250.00, whichever is greater. If the Service Provider wishes to increase the Company’s maximum amount of such limitation of liability, the Service Provider may, as a matter of right, at any time, by entering into a supplemental agreement, obtain from the Company a higher limit by paying an additional amount consonant with the increase of liability. This shall not be construed as insurance coverage.
Article VI – LEGAL ACTION/ARBITRATION/WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

Any action by you against the Company must be commenced within one year of the accrual of the cause of action or shall be barred.

If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and operative, or if it cannot be so modified, eliminated, and the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall continue in full force and effect as if these Terms and Conditions had been signed with the invalid portion so modified or eliminated.
